The surge in working from home in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic : what are the long-term potentials for academically and vocationally qualified people?

Abstract

"Working from Home (WfH) has become a regular model for large numbers of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. What future developments can be expected? The article investigates this question on the basis of data from the 2018 BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey and via evaluations of online job vacancies (OJV) from the year 2020. It outlines in which occupational groups long-term changes could be indicated for those with vocational and academic qualifications." (authors' abstract; BIBB-Doku)
